Cover : Crop‐raiding Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata ). Populations of macaques and other large terrestrial animals, such as sika deer (Cervus nippon ), have rebounded following depopulation of rural areas in Japan and resulted in an increase in human‐wildlife conflict. Such conflicts may be alleviated by aggregation of human‐use areas in a land‐sharing approach. See Tsunoda and Enari (pages 819‐828). “Challenges of and Solutions to Human‐Wildlife Conflicts in Agricultural Landscapes, a special section in this issue, features this and other articles pertinent to the goal of human and wildlife coexistence.

封面：日本猕猴（Macaca fuscata）。由于日本农村人口的减少，猕猴和其他大型陆生动物（如梅花鹿（Cervus nippon））的种群数量有所反弹，导致人类与野生动物的冲突增加。通过以土地共享的方式整合人类使用区域，可以缓解这种冲突。参见Tsunoda和Enari（第819-828页）。“农业景观中人类与野生生物冲突的挑战和解决方案是本期的特别部分，其特色是与人类和野生生物共存目标有关的本篇文章和其他文章。
